Take Time

Take The Time

Take the time my friend and you may see what lays inside,
My protective heart hides the smile that glows from time to time,
Deep beyond the shadows, lay a tender heart that flies,
Dreams that twist and turn and hope that never dies,
Faith that holds the secret key to trust and great pride,
Joyful silence masks the madness from time to time,
Playful giggles that masquerade the lies,
Scars that bind me to my past, passion heals the lines they have left,
Memories I hold dear from a child’s eye,
Parent love and sibling’s tears, countless patterns of my fears,

So if you take the time my friend you may just see what lay’s inside.
